TWiP: Making Things

This Week in Pictures, Week 11, 2022

It’s been a creative week. I made some wash cloths for the kitchen, two new types of tools to keep in my shop, and scones from last summer’s berry harvest

TWiP: Little Purple Things

This Week in Pictures, Week 8, 2022

This past weekend was the Clayathon, so you’ll see a lot of my images are dominated by what I made during those three days. We also had an ice storm, which gave me something else to take pictures of.

TWiP: More Sweaters Ahead

This Week in Pictures, Week 6, 2022

This Week in Pictures, Week 5, 2022

TWiP: Saturday and Thursday

This Week in Pictures, Week 4, 2022

This week is an example of what I was afraid would happen if I stopped requiring myself to take a photo a week. I have four images from Saturday, two from Thursday, and nothing else. Who knows what I was doing the rest of the week? Not me!

TWiP: Weekends are not for Sitting at the Computer

This Week in Pictures, Week 2, 2022

I do not want to turn on my computer on the weekends! Weekends are for visiting! And going for long drives! And breathing fresh air! And sitting on the bed watching mysteries and knitting!
